Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul proposes reintroducing civics classes in schools to instill unity, ethics, and reduce violent inter-school rivalries.
The proposal follows a recent fatal shooting near a school, which is believed to be a result of rivalry between vocational colleges.
Anutin has instructed stricter enforcement against civilians carrying guns in public and urged school administrators to prevent weapons in schools while educating students on the consequences of violence.
Police are actively investigating the Khlong Toei shooting, having identified the college of the suspected gunman and working to track down those involved.
